On his part, the Managing Director of NIWA, Chief Moghulu who accepted the appointment with joy said the victory of APC in 2023 general elections was a collective responsibility of all the stakeholders and lovers of democracy, adding that, he was already intimated of the development before the demise of Prof. S. O Mohammed whose death he described as most painful in recent times.
He commended the humility and leadership style of AIG Iyaji, promising to support the organization whenever he is called upon.
Chief Moghalu added that support groups such as the AABO-S were imperatively needed in view of the public perceptions of the APC led administration which needed more voices to trumpet the Administration’s achievements through grassroot engagement.
In attendance during the courtesy visit were National Coordinator of AABO-S Hon. Zakari Bala; National Secretary, Alhaji (Bar.) KABIRU FADILE MOHAMMED, National Publicity Secretary, Hon Moses Abdullahi and North East Coordinator of the Organization, Hon. Saurara Theman.
“The appointment of retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, Abdulsalam Iyaji as the National Patron is based on his track records, excellent antecedents and his core believe in the All Progressive Congress (APac) led government.
“You may wish to know that, AIG Iyaji assumed the position of the Director General of AABO-S following the demise of Late Professor Seidu Onailo Mohammed who was hitherto the Director General of the organization”
